When Victor said those words, Erica felt as if she had heard something utterly unbelievable.
His eyes widened, and he stood there blankly, his mind completely blank.
Huh? Me?
Erica's eyes trembled as she faced Thanatos, who was draped in a tattered robe and shrouded in a heavy aura of death.
A strong sense of fear welled up in her heart, and she instinctively wanted to take a step and escape from this place.
But at this moment, she was trembling all over because she was completely overwhelmed by fear.
My limbs were also filled with coldness, and I couldn't move them.
The azure light continued to flow rapidly across the disc-shaped ground, gradually tinting the surrounding deep darkness with a faint glow.
A chilling aura burst forth from the empty eye sockets of that phantom, piercing Erica's joints like steel nails.
A violent aura began to spread from all around, merging with the flickering flames.
Erica stared at the terrifying Grim Reaper before her, goosebumps rising all over her body.
The Grim Reaper before me felt completely different from the one I faced when I confronted Hades.
Although when he first stepped into the gates of hell, Hades was more terrifying than the gods before him.
Whether it's the overwhelming oppression, the majesty that commands countless souls, or even its appearance capable of destroying the world.
In every aspect, it far surpasses the Grim Reaper before us.
But Erica knew that her mission was to bring Professor Victor back to Earth from the Underworld.
Therefore, she impulsively joined the battle with a surge of passion.
Afterwards, if Professor Victor hadn't successfully possessed her, she would probably be buried with weeds three feet tall by now.
And now...
She had absolutely no reason or ability to fight against the other party.
Just as Erica thought of this, the temperature around her seemed to drop several degrees, and a chilling wind swept over her.
A strong sense of crisis welled up in Erica's heart, but the next second, the sharp shockwave still grazed past her.
Whoosh!
A flash of cold light appeared in the sky, splitting the light air in two completely.
call--
The shockwaves surged to both sides, causing the flickering, azure flames to sway wildly.
Erica felt a chill on her face, followed by a warm sensation running down her cheek.
Blood gushed from the sharp wound, flowing down his cheek and dripping onto the round ground, splashing up dust.
Even a section of her long golden hair was cut off.
From this perspective, Erica's hair looks somewhat unbalanced from both sides.
That strand of hair drifted gently down from the sky and gradually descended to the ground.
In an instant, it turned into pitch-black charcoal, which was then quickly scattered into powder by the wind.
Erica witnessed this scene, ignoring even the excruciating pain in her face.
She reached out in shock, touched her face, and stared at the blood on her fingertips.
Her eyes widened, and she was filled with panic and fear.
Wow...so fast.
She didn't see it at all, not at all.
If, if the attack had been aimed at the neck instead of the face—
Erica had already imagined how she might die.
She stood there, stunned, witnessing everything that happened before her eyes.
She was injured simply by the way the other person swung his sickle.
Is this really something she can defeat?
At the same time, Thanatos sheathed his scythe and looked at Erica with equally serious eyes.
Did this human girl know that the attack was not fatal, and therefore deliberately not dodge it?
Thinking of this, Thanatos narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing the human girl in front of him, pondering deeply.
It seems I've been underestimated.
However, it could understand, since the other party was a hero who had passed the trials of hell and had faced Lord Hades directly.
It also knew that Erica had almost perfectly dodged every attack during that trial, remaining unharmed.
They even persevered to the very end and defeated Lord Hades.
Therefore, Thanatos's first attack was merely a probe.
The human girl before it was perhaps more powerful than it had imagined.
She might already know everything I've done.
Since that's the case.
"Then let's try this one."
Thanatos narrowed his eyes and slowly lifted a corner of the tattered cloak.
A withered arm gradually emerged from the black, illusory shadow, its palm pointing towards Erica.
Seeing this, Erica felt a chill run down her spine, and intense fear gripped her body.
Just as she thought something was about to happen, Thanatos's tattered figure suddenly vanished in the next second.
In an instant, it reappeared in front of Erica, carrying a strong aura of death.
Erica was startled, but she knew that what she should do now was to create distance between herself and the other person.
As a result, when he tried to move his body backward, he found that he couldn't move at all.
It was as if they were tightly bound by invisible shackles.
She turned her head and saw what appeared to be a hazy wall behind her, so transparent it was almost imperceptible.
Not only her back, but also both sides of her body were trapped in an invisible box.
Before her stood the Grim Reaper, a being with a pitch-black soul.
"It seems you can't escape this time."
Its voice carried a hint of coldness.
Then, it swung its huge scythe out with a sudden burst of power.
Peng!
A dull thud echoed throughout the entire circular arena.
A body suddenly flew up from the ground, shattering the transparent wall in front of it.
The long golden hair left a long trail in the air, swept across the space, and flew towards the ground more than ten meters away.
